God's Message came to me:
2
"Son of man, confront Mount Seir. Prophesy against it!
3
Tell them, 'God, the Master, says: "'I'm coming down hard on you, Mount Seir. I'm stepping in and turning you to a pile of rubble.
4
I'll reduce your towns to piles of rocks. There'll be nothing left of you. Then you'll realize that I am God.
5
"'I'm doing this because you've kept this age-old grudge going against Israel: You viciously attacked them when they were already down, looking their final punishment in the face.
6
Therefore, as sure as I am the living God, I'm lining you up for a real bloodbath. Since you loved blood so much, you'll be chased by rivers of blood.
7
I'll reduce Mount Seir to a heap of rubble. No one will either come or go from that place!
8
I'll blanket your mountains with corpses. Massacred bodies will cover your hills and fill up your valleys and ditches.
9
I'll reduce you to ruins and all your towns will be ghost towns - population zero. Then you'll realize that I am God.
10
"'Because you said, "These two nations, these two countries, are mine. I'm taking over" (even though God is right there watching, right there listening),
11
I'll turn your hate-bloated anger and rage right back on you. You'll know I mean business when I bring judgment on you.
